BOARD, RECOMMENDING THE CITY OF SEWARD AMEND
THE PORT AND HARBOR TARIFF REGULATIONS EFFECTIVE
JANUARY 1,2012
WHEREAS, the Seward City Council will review all enterprise fund tariffs in
preparation for drafting the 2012 and 2013 budgets; and
WHEREAS, the City Administration has outlined critical capital replacement
needs for the Seward Harbor and identified the required bond payments for 2012 and
2013; and

however they will assist in covering the operating costs of the harbor and allow a higher
percentage of the shared fisheries business tax to fund the Major Repair and Replacement
Fund,
WHEREAS, the City of Seward's enterprise funds are operated in a manner
similar to private business entities,in that they establish charges intended to cover the full
cost of providing services including operations and maintenance, overhead, system
expansion,utilities,and charges for the use of capital facilities; and
WHEREAS, the public has expressed the desire to simplify the electric rate
structure by combining electric fees into a flat kilowatt hour rate to encompass charges
such as connect fees,fuel adjustment factors,and the kilowatt hour rate; and
WHEREAS, due to the need to regularly review and update charges to account
for the impact of inflation and other cost increases, it is prudent to update charges
annually.
